The final season of Girls kept us guessing. Would Hannah and Adam get back together? Would Elijah make it on Broadway? Now that the series finale has aired, we have our answers. Some outcomes were better than others. Here’s a look at who wound up where, ranked from the best fate to the worst.

Ray Ploshansky

Ray, played by Alex Karpovsky, was either a delightfully odd bird or an insufferable know-it-all, depending on your perspective. During the final season, he had some rough moments. He lost one of his best friends, Hermie (Colin Quinn), and ended things with Marnie. (Finally.) But over six seasons, he also triumphed. He became a local politician, the successful proprietor of an anti-hipster coffee shop (thanks to Shoshanna) and he was the only character to get a romantic comedy-calibre happily ever after. When Shoshanna introduced Ray to her old boss, Abigail (Aidy Bryant), the two hit it off. They ended up traipsing around Brooklyn, interviewing people about gentrification and capped their day with an awkwardly adorable kiss on a carousel.

Elijah Krantz

When Elijah (Andrew Rannells) first came onto the scene in Season 1, he was Hannah’s pseudo-nemesis ex-boyfriend. But the two went on to become best friends and roommates. He could still be cruel, like when he told Hannah she’d make a terrible mother, but his meanness was so obviously a product of his own fears and insecurities that it was somehow more excusable. At the end of the series, Elijah’s career had taken off. He got a major part in White Men Can’t Jump: The Musical despite botching part of his first audition. And the famous anchor (Corey Stoll) who dumped Elijah in a particularly heartless way came crawling back.

Shoshanna Shapiro

So Shosh (Zosia Mamet) was getting married. After mismatched pairings with Ray and Scott (Jason Ritter), Shoshanna finally found her other half — and at a cupcake vending machine, no less. In a way you could say she had everything she wanted, yet she still had an astonishing amount of bitterness. When Hannah accidentally crashed her engagement party, Shoshanna told her former best friends, not to mention her cousin, that the past six years had been a complete waste of time. Maybe that’s a sign she has moved on from toxic relationships. But it was also kind of tragic.

Hannah Horvath

Motherhood didn’t turn out to be a walk in the park for Hannah (Lena Dunham) and that shouldn’t have been a surprise. Throughout the series, she could barely take care of herself even though she was the only one she ever really cared about. So what would adding Grover to the mix mean? Apparently anger, frustration and some serious postpartum depression. But it wasn’t all bleak for Hannah. Out of nowhere, like a gift from the gods, Hannah had gotten a good-paying job as a professor in a cute university town (even though she had zero qualifications for such a post). She ended up alone romantically. In the end, the only partner Hannah would accept was Marnie, but it was clear that her codependency might be running its course. In the final episode, Hannah seemed to realize that it was time to be a grown-up and, for once, she was at least attempting to play the part.

Adam Sackler

Could Adam (Adam Driver) ever be truly happy? He wasn’t exactly a content kind of guy, always one minor altercation away from a total meltdown. One thing was clear from the movie he made about his time dating Hannah: he wasn’t completely over her. But his attempt to woo her back and his offer to help her raise her child fell flat. He ended up back at home with Jessa, his consolation prize. Professionally, at least, he had done pretty well, scoring enough parts in Broadway plays and antidepressant commercials to bankroll his own low-budget movie.

Jessa Johansson

Jessa (Jemima Kirke) was one of the sadder characters, even if she was routinely selfish and awful. On the plus side, she managed to stay sober even when she knew her boyfriend was trying to win back his ex. But the gross hookup in the bar bathroom, the fact she dropped out of school and the knowledge that she wasn’t Adam’s first choice made her more tragic. At least she was starting to do some soul-searching, coming to terms with how nasty she could be.

Marnie Michaels

“I don’t need to be happy,” Marnie (Allison Williams) said in the final episode and suddenly the character that viewers loved to hate earned some compassion. Here she was trying to almost single-handedly raise Hannah’s son and, even though she was getting nothing but rage and ridicule from her best friend, Marnie didn’t seem to mind. She had one of the more dramatic falls from grace. Divorced from Desi and jobless, she couldn’t afford her apartment anymore, so she moved home with her mother before relocating to be with Hannah. But there was a silver lining: for the first time in a long time, she was putting someone else first. And, hey, there’s always law school.
